Kilmacanogue · Ryder Field · Youth and adult football
Football under the Wicklow hills
Glencormac United brings Kilmacanogue players, families and visiting teams to Ryder Field on Quill Road.
Club identity
A Kilmacanogue club with a 1974 crest
Glencormac United is rooted in Kilmacanogue, between Bray, Enniskerry and the Wicklow uplands. The blue and gold crest carries 1974, and local Kilmacanogue coverage recalls the first Glencormac United team forming around the 1973/74 season.
That village setting still shapes the club. Ryders Field is the home name families meet on fixture lists, while the club name continues to appear across Wicklow schoolboy and schoolgirl football, Wicklow adult football and the Eastern Women’s Football League.
Your first visit
Find Ryders Field on Quill Road
Ryders Field sits at Quill Road, Kilmacanoge South, Kilmacanogue, Co. Wicklow. Some football listings shorten the name to Ryder Field, but the venue points to the same club ground used for Glencormac home fixtures.
Check the team, pitch and kick off time before travelling. On busy mornings, arrive with enough time for parking, warm up and a quick check in with the coach.
Player pathway
Small sided football through the teenage age groups
Wicklow Schoolboys and Girls League fixtures for the 2026/27 season place Glencormac teams in under 8, under 10 and under 13 football, with several home games marked for Ryders Field. The pathway gives local players a route from early small sided games into older age group league football.
Age groups follow year of birth. Parents should ask the club which squad fits the player before attending a session.
Adult football
Men’s and women’s teams linked to the same ground
The adult side of Glencormac United is broader than one team. The club carries men’s teams in Wicklow and District Football League competition, with Glencormac United A in Division 1 and Glencormac United B in Division 3.
Women’s football also forms part of the club picture. Glencormac United FC appears in Eastern Women’s Football League competition, including 2025 EWFL Major fixtures at Ryder Field and Quill Road.
Club life
A community ground, not just a match venue
Ryders Field also hosts walking football activity for older players, giving former teammates and new participants a social route back onto the pitch. That wider use suits a club ground beside a village, where the football space serves more than weekend results.
The club uses digital contact routes for registrations, news and member updates, including its Clubforce presence and social channel. For a first enquiry, include the player’s year of birth, previous football experience, parent or guardian contact details and the best time to call back.
Visiting teams
Plan the trip before leaving home
Visiting coaches should confirm the fixture venue, kick off time and any pitch note on the day of travel. Ryders Field is the Kilmacanogue ground used across the club’s home listings, but weather, age group scheduling and league changes can move a fixture.
Arrive early, keep gateways and nearby access clear, and bring warm layers for the open Wicklow setting. The ground is close to the hills, so conditions can feel different from town pitches even on the same morning.
